I'm thinking its not native... maybe. I dunno.
Perhaps Trident Goby - Tridentiger trigonocephalus

You will catch whatever the thing above is, bridled gobies, south western gobies and of course swan river gobies.
You will find them on the bottom in less than a foot of water... Usually in easy range from the river bank.
Take mozzie repellant with you.

A side shot would help, as from that angle it could even be a blenny.

Not 100% but perhaps Cox's Gudgeon, Gobiomorphus Coxii? They are in the Swan, believed to be introduced.
The fish in your photo also reminds me of a flathead gudgeon but I've never heard of them being in any rivers in WA

Have asked around and a lot of people are suggesting flathead gudgeon, but I've never heard of them being found in any Perth rivers (even introduced).

Then looking at the condition, it is not possible that it is just an old female Swan River Goby?
